NAME
    pgmtolispm - convert a portable graymap into Lisp Machine format

SYNOPSIS
    pgmtolispm [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION
    Reads a  portable graymap as input. Produces a Lisp Machine bitmap as
    output.

    This is the file format read by the tv:read-bit-array-file function on
    TI Explorer and Symbolics lisp machines.

    Given a  pgm (instead of a pbm) a multi-plane image will be output.
    This is probably not useful unless you have a color lisp machine.

    Multi-plane bitmaps on lisp machines are color; but the lispm  image
    file format does not include  a color map, so we must treat it as a
    graymap instead.  This is unfortunate.

SEE ALSO
   lispmtopgm(1), pgm(5)

BUGS
    Output width is always rounded up to the nearest multiple of 32; this
    might not always be what you want, but it probably is (arrays which are
    not modulo 32 cannot be passed to the Lispm BITBLT function, and thus
    cannot easily be displayed on the screen).

    No color.
